Hi,

I'm trying to diagnose a problem with remote desktop. I suspect my
internet connection.

How can I tell if a particular port has been blocked or not?

Surely you need to set up port forwarding, although I am not sure which. I
remember trying to get it working, but I had to DMZ the host computer before
it would work. Client side should work OK with NAT though, IIRC.
